CONCERNED ACTIONS: Action A & Action B
Who is addressed by this information?
This document contains information on specific requirements for Partners applying for FWF
funding.
!! Please note that it is mandatory to follow the requirements described below. To make sure
that all requirements are met and to receive latest information, please contact your
respective funding organisation contact point !!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
In addition to the application at the call secretariat administrative data (in accordance with
the FWF guidelines for stand-alone projects) must be submitted online to the FWF at
https://elane.fwf.ac.at/
This is required already at the pre-registration stage via the programme category “IK –
International Projects (preproposal, deadline 16. November 2018)”.
For the full proposal stage applicants must choose the programme category “I –
International Projects”, Deadline 8. February 2019. Both steps are mandatory.
For submissions to be valid, the cover sheet generated at the end of the online submission
process must be printed out and signed. It can then either be sent to the FWF by
conventional mail (FWF, Sensengasse 1, 1090 Vienna) or scanned in, given a digital signature
and sent to the FWF (office@fwf.ac.at) as an e-mail attachment.
Please note that the number of ongoing/approved projects in which one researcher can
serve as principal investigator is limited to three in the Stand-Alone Projects Programme,
International Programmes, Clinical Research and Arts-Based Research Programmes.
Information on the limit of the number of ongoing/approved projects and thus the limit of
applications that can be submitted can be found at
3https://www.fwf.ac.at/fileadmin/files/Dokumente/Antragstellung/project_number_limit.pdf
For information on submitting an application from abroad see the FWF Website at
https://www.fwf.ac.at/en/research-funding/applications-from-abroad/
The applicant's qualifications to carry out the research work should be demonstrated by
publications in internationally recognised journals (the number of which should correspond
to the stage the applicant has reached in his/her career). The following criteria are decisive
in the assessment of the applicant's research qualifications and determine whether a review
procedure is initiated:
• Number of publications: The applicant's number of publications should correspond to
his/her career to date; however, each applicant must have at least two publications
in the five years prior to submission of the application.
• Independence: The applicant's independent contribution to the publication should
be visible. For example, at least one publication listing the applicant as the first
author is required in the Life Sciences category.
• Peer review: All the publications listed (or more than half in the case of the
humanities) must have been subjected to a quality assurance procedure in line with
high international standards, normally meaning that the journals should be listed in
the Web of Science, Scopus or the
Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). In the case of journals not listed in those
databases, or monographs, edited volumes or contributions therein, or other publication
types, the peer-review procedure must be documented on the publisher’s website to which
the applicant should provide a link. In the case of monographs, edited volumes or
contributions therein, or other publication types where the policy is not documented on the
publisher’s website, or journals not listed in the Web of Science, Scopus or the Directory of
Open Access Journals (DOAJ) the onus is on the applicant to provide evidence of the outlet’s
quality assurance policies.
International publications: In the natural sciences, life sciences and social sciences, the
majority of the applicant's publications listed must be in English.
Where one or more of the above conditions are not met, the applicant must make a case for
exemption to the rule which will then be considered by the FWF Executive Board.
Principal investigators must mention the ORCID persistent digital identifiers
(http://orcid.org/ ) in the application forms.

ELIGIBILITY
Eligible Institutions/Persons In order to be eligible for FWO-funding,
researchers have to comply with Article 9 of
the research project regulations.
Only ‘academia’ are fundable; in essence this
comes down to holding an eligible ‘ZAP-
position’ at a Flemish, eligible main host
institution.
Eligible themes/environment All topics and environments are eligible.
Additional specific rules The FWO is participating with its
fundamental programme only, which
implies that the emphasis must lie on this
type of research.
A researcher can be included/participate in
two different consortia/projects in this call,
conform article 5 of the research project
regulations.
It is consequently strongly advised to
contact the FWO administration, before
submission, in order to verify the
researchers‘ eligibility and avoid the
ineligibility of the project-
proposal/consortium as a whole.
Additionally, we encourage researchers to
inform their host institution (research
coordination units (DOCs)) about their
participation, for administrative purposes.
More information about ERA-NET and FWO
can be consulted online, on the FWO-
website.
16BUDGET
Minimum and/or maximum requested 200,000 EUR per project
budget per Partner and/or per Project
Eligible Personnel costs Funding money can be used for (temporary)

funding amounts per cost category, as
applicable for the regular FWO-projects, are

not be taken up in the budget table.
Notwithstanding, the FWO pays the host
institutions of a project directly 6% overhead
on top of the funding amount.
Subcontracting rules To EU countries: Yes, but with limitations.
E.g.:(trans)national funding of personnel,
appointed at a non-Flemish host institution,
is not possible, while certain services in turn
are fundable. Contact the FWO-
administration/contact point to verify the
eligibility of a certain type of cost.
To Non-EU countries: Yes, but with
limitations. E.g.: transnational funding of
personnel, appointed at a non-Flemish host
institution, is not possible, while certain
services in turn are fundable. Contact the
FWO-administration/contact point to verify
the eligibility of a certain type of cost.
Subcontracting special tasks (i.e. IT services,
etc): Yes, but with limitations. Contact the

Applicants under this procedure shall be directly responsible for the implementation of the
activities under the project proposal and shall not act as intermediaries, but they shall carry
out activities under the project proposal on their behalf and at their expense.
Applicants to this procedure must be entities:
- Carrying out fundamental research studies; and
- Whose activities are entirely of a non-profit nature; or
- Whose activities are of both for-profit and not-for-profit nature, but these activities
are clearly distinguished and their organization allows tracking of revenue and
expenditures connected with their implementation, including by keeping analytical
accounting. In the event that an applicant is involved in both for-profit and not-for-
profit activities, the funding, expenditures and revenues shall be taken into account
separately for each type of activity and on the basis of consistently applied principles
of accounting of expenditures being justifiable.
